ok ordered my b18 swap...got a pretty good deal lil older motor but thats ok. here's what i got ordered can you tell me if i forgot anything.

b18a1 w/ecu and harness uncut (obd 0)
trany...cable drive
new clutch w/8lb flywheel
motor mounts
b18 shift linkage
both axles

looking into new radiator. the overflow at the cap nipple got snapped off when removing motor somehow. might just jb weld it back on for now. thinking about doing a half size. any suggestions.

can yah think of anything im missing to complete swap, nothing worse than getting hours in and realize oh damn i forgot something.

 

DA rad hoses

 

intermediate axle shaft?

 

Complete tune up
Rear T-Bracket

Depending on which car you have:
DPFI to Mpfi conversion
Knuckles
Fuel hose from fuel filter to fuel rail

 

What car is the motor going into?

 

going in a 91 si that had stock d16a in it.

how does the fuel hook up go? will the injector rail for d16 fit the b18(i didnt think it would)? if not what plumbing mods have to be done to fit the b18 rail back to the stock fuel filter or is it just unbolt one and bolt up the other.

rear t-bracket? i going to have to check into that. i got the mounts but not a t-bracket. any suggestions? on what one to get

 

The fuel hose is for if your car was a DPFI model, since it's an Si your ok. The rear bracket is the one that mounts to the rear mount and the transmission
Need to be from 90-93 integra

 

ok that answers my fuel question.

the rear bracket thing is puzzling my a lil bit. it mounts to trany and im guessing bolts to where the old rear stock mount was?

 

what about throttle cable. i think i read somewhere you had to change depending on model? what model cable was it i need or do i since its a SI?

 

yes thats the t bracket and i used the throttle cable from a 91 integra i have a ls crx as well

 

Just to clarify, yes, the "t" bracket is the mount that is attached to the ls transmission. this piece then bolts to the mount from your swap mount kit that bolts to the rear crossmember. I would check your swap when it arrives, hopefully it is still on your transmission. theyre around $80 dollars from the dealer (last i checked) so if you can get one at a local junkyard its worth the savings. Delsol92 is right, you can use the throttle cable form a 1990-93 DA integra. Is your shift linkage from the integra or is it a swap linkage? if its from the DA integra, it will need to be shortened to work with the ef chasis. Good luck on your swap! im buttoning up this same swap in my 1990 hatch.

 

ok i think i understand now the b-series only has the 2 side mounts and the rear mount it dont have a front mount like the d-series(mine was broke when i took it out anyways). ill wait till the motor gets here to see if the rear mount is still on there.

i just made a call and i have the half shaft/intermediate shaft is coming with motor.

i gonna search around see if i can find a a throttle cable.might hit up pick and pull, and find a rear mount just in case it dont come with.

the shifter im getting is for a integra so i guess ill have to shorten it up isnt it like 2.5" on both rods

 

You cannot use the mounts that are coming with the swap. Get some Hasport or similar mounts for B-Series swap into EF. Also, use your SI engine harness, not the uncut one coming with the B18A1.

You should also be prepared to spend money on a fresh timing kit, water pump, seals, gaskets, o-rings, and coolant hoses. It's much, much easier to freshen up all these things while the motor is out of the car. If it looks suspect, replace it now so you don't have to worry about it after dropping the motor in.

 

i was aware that my current harness would work because both motors are obd 0 for now. and i bought the swap mounts for the b-series. gonna pay a visit to the junk yard this saturday to search for throttle cable and maybe a vtech head and some rear disk brakes.

 

ok just ran across something, i have the factory manifold coming with the motor but was looking into a header. can i fit a stand b-series header or do i need to get one of the headers that stay tight to the motor. i gonna try and run the factory radiator with out the a/c cooling fan just the standard fan. my other option is a half sized radiator but tring to save money for suspension

 

you can use the stock radiator with no issues, but in my crx when it came down to headers the stock ones fit fine with 4-2-1 i had to notch the crossmember and then 4-1 i had to get an aftermarket crossmember

 

ill give you a check list, ive had 5 cars with ls swaps and done them all my self, just finished the one on my sedan about a week ago, only took about a day, now,
tranny,clutch,flywheel,ecu,swap mounts,t bracket,axles,halfshaft,alternator,dizzy,ecu,da radiator hoses,test pipe or cut and weld exhaust flange,all sensors and some vaccum lines,i wouldnt worry to much about the t belt take off the valve cover and inspect it your self. and you said pick n pull where you from?

 

Instead of starting this pointless thread you should have spent it searching... This has been covered thousands of times and there are MANY write-ups on this. There is a decent one on Honda-Tech as well:
